On-Farm Pick-up  and  pricing

Drop-site Pick-up  and  pricing

On-farm pick-up offers greater flexibility with two components to our *pricing: A household membership fee of $99* and a share fee of $299* The $99 household fee is an annual fee making everyone in your home members. The $99 is a single fee that covers the whole family/household The second fee $299, is the single share cost.  This relates to the quantity of produce you will be receiving.  Next, select the quantity of food your home needs With on-farm pick-up you can chose the amount of produce you receive.  In this approach we sell the produce by individual shares at $299 per share A single person purchases one share ($99 + one share at $299) Couples purchase two shares Large families purchase three, four or more shares as needed The actual amount a share represents will vary throughout the year with May and June shares being small and on the light side and later summer shares being significantly larger and plentiful. 2008 Gift Cards  $100, $200 & $300 Values Use gift cards at the farm or Farmers Market for purchases in $10 increments

Drop-site pick-up provides two sizes of shares, a Full Share and a Half Share along with two component pricing  A household membership fee of $99* and a share fee of $299* Full share =  $99 household membership + two shares at $299, total $697 Though this approach is less flexible it seems to be the most popular choice and more convenient for downtown LaCrosse members or those too far from the farm to drive or those that don't drive Half Share = $99 household membership+ one share at $299, total $398 Also back for 2008 season -  Gift Cards / debit cards.   $300 Value.  For purchases in $10 increments at the farm or at our NWF stand at a farmer market  Click here for drop-site locations $100 Gift Card  use on the farm or at farmers market $200 Gift Card   use on the farm or at farmers market $300 Gift Card  use on the farm or at farmers market

 Drop-site Pick-up Pricing

The most common share package for drop site pick-up sites is $697* for two (pre-boxed) shares for a 15-week season.  The price includes the $99 membership fee, which allows you to come out to the farm for bulk order pickups of vegetables, herbs, fruit, flowers and plants.  

The other available share package is the ½ share for $398.   The half or single share I felt was necessary for college students, single or elderly individuals with only one person in the household.  The ½ share also includes the $99 membership fee, which allows you to come out to the farm for bulk order pickups of vegetables, herbs, fruit for you to preserve the fresh local food for winter and spring.   To further understand what a box contains please refer to Share Size.

Flower Share Pricing

We anticipate providing flowers and fall decorations over a 12-week season.  One flower share would include 10 handcrafted bouquets during the season plus fall decorations (gourds, ornamental corn, etc.) in September as well as a couple pumpkins in October.   Season price: $69
